Commands

Description

 COMMAND: @chown [=]           @chown /[=]

The first form changes the ownership of <object> to <player> (default is to yourself). Objects may be things, rooms or exits. Wizards may chown objects by dbref. mortals have a more complex set of rules: Objects must have the CHOWN_OK flag set before they may be @chowned. To chown things, they have to be carrying the thing. To chown rooms or exits, they must be in the room. In a room, the command used must be @chown here = , and for an object, you must be very specific.

The second form changes the ownership of the indicated attribute on to (default is the owner of the object). You may only @chown unlocked attributes. You may @chown unlocked attributes on objects that you own to yourself, and you may also @chown attributes that you own on objects owned by others to the owner of the object. When an object is @chowned, all unlocked attributes on the object are automatically @chowned as well, locked attributes remain owned by their original owners.

The HALTED flag is automatically set on the object after the @chown command is successful. Players can’t be @chowned; they always own themselves.

> **Note:** If the object being @chowned is set INHERIT, that flag will be removed during the process.
